Re: Linux boot process explained

slightly dated as it kinda leaves the whole initrd/initramfs setup out of the picture entirely.

It's also covers the sysv type init scripts rather than the more bsd like scripts Arch uses.

Re: Linux boot process explained

There are much more mistakes in it and it seems very distribution-specific. Read /etc/inittab, /etc/rc.sysinit and the bootscripts from initrd yourself, then you will understand the boot process much better.

Re: Linux boot process explained

True, but it's still a good read as it gives understanding of one boot process. By having a basic understanding of one system, understanding another is easier, no?
